Members of the Board of Regents shall be paid a per diem
compensation and travel expenses as provided in statute or Board Policy 807.1
for each day in attendance at board meetings or in the performance of any duty
or service as a board member. For purposes of this policy compensable duty or
service shall be defined as follows.

Attendance at meetings
of the Board of Regents and Board committees of which the regent is a
member, and travel to and from such meetings.

Attendance at meetings
of the Board of Education and Board committees of which the regent is a
member, and travel to and from such meetings.

Attendance at meetings
of other entities on which the Regent sits as a formal representative of
the Board of Regents and travel to and from such meetings, provided the
Regent receives no compensation or expenses from the other entity. The
Office of the Commissioner will maintain a list of these appointments.

Other expenses specifically
authorized in advance as compensable by the Chair of the Board.

The Commissioner is directed to deny all claims for
compensation or reimbursement not within the categories listed above and to
bring such claims to the attention of the claiming member and the Board chair.
If upon review the Chair believes that the claim should be granted the Chair
may direct the Commissioner to pay the claim. If the Chair declines to approve
the claim the member may submit the matter to the full Board of Regents for
decision. If the Board determines that the activity for which reimbursement is
claimed could be properly classified as a legitimate duty or service of a board
member, the full Board may authorize reimbursement even in the absence of prior
authorization.
